Days When Everything Seems To Go Wrong

A day can start well, and then later in the day, you find out that you have to buy a new washer and dryer. You discover that the washing machine has a significant problem after it has put oil all over your clothes in the spin cycle. The clothes dryer has also been drying the clothes so hot that you can barely touch them when they come out of the clothes dryer. You then go to the store to buy a new one and discover that they do not have any on hand and that it will take two months to get one in. The appliance store calls and tells you they had the new one, but it got damaged during shipping. I asked for a discount since it would be in my basement anyway. Minor issues can turn into complex problems quickly.

Rental Property

I had rental houses for many years, and I was delighted when I sold all but one of them. I have had many excellent tenants through the years, but the last eight years were terrible, as I felt I was in the garbage business. Tenants would leave all their garbage behind in the house or the garage, and it took forever to clean up their mess. The people I rented to had good background checks and references, but they did not respect my property. If people are not vested in something, they do not take care of it anymore. People wonder why some landlords want so much for rent. I say, no wonder if they were treated like I was. My rental homes were well-maintained, and the tenants had reasonable rent.

God Can Clean Up A Day That Is Not Going Well

Faith in God will help you get through life’s storms. Always remember that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes. I pray to God for guidance when I have a rocky or upsetting day. Most people will have at least a few hiccups in a day. God will help direct you in how to handle a situation to improve its outcome. The bible has many examples of how to handle many situations correctly. Forgive people quickly, but never forget, as only a fool would forget. Hanging on to a grudge will only take away from your life, and the other party will not even be giving it a second thought, as it is water under the bridge for them.

Broken Objects Or Things

None of us likes to break something, but accidents do happen. Sometimes you may break an object that meant a lot to you, but always remember it is only an object, and no one got hurt. You may break a plate in a set of dishes; if you look hard enough, you can replace it someday. Objects can be replaced, or you can still remember the time and place when you purchased the item. People cannot be replaced, so handle all your relationships respectfully.
